Hi Rainer,

thank you for thinking about the reboot delayed thing again.

I have to agree to most of what you said, however the admins are able to 
do similar things
with the current version right now by delaying reboot on the command 
level. So to give them
more flexibility is not a bad thing in general if this function is not 
the default behavour. IMHO
you could not blame the devs for a properly operating feature you 
explicity choose and not
understand it entirely. A disclaimer about the consequences in the docs 
would be a good idea.

What do you think about the following:

package level reboot:

true -> always reboot ignoring command level result
false -> never reboot ignoring command level result
<not set> -> command level is controling behavour
delayed -> reboot after all packages are processed ignoring command 
level results

command level reboot:

true -> immediate reboot
false -> no reboot
delayed -> reboot is delayed after all commands
delayedPackages -> reboot is delayed after all packages are processed
